Hello everyone! Happy Snow Day!

Saturday I walked to work and it was sooo quiet! We had a couple of centimeters of snow on the ground and it was coming down pretty good. I worked until 2 and it had snowed, then stopped, then snowed again! while I was walking home the snow was hitting me pretty hard! I was so excited! I had a meeting with a possible babysitter so I had to hurry home and not dawdle and play in the snow!

I got home and Madigan was sleeping so Maeve and I geared up and made the snowy trek to meet our babysitter to be! Andrea is great, she is originally from Malaysia but has lived the bulk of her life in Ireland! She has lived in Vancouver for 1 1/2 years and has zero accent! Weird huh? Maeve really liked her and I really liked the way she talked to Maeve! She gets top marks from me! Michael and I are going to go on a date and not have to call my Mom over from the Island to watch the girls for a change!

While I was at work, Michael took the girls to the park up the street! looks like they had a blast!




Sunday was more snow! I figured the snow would have stopped overnight but nopers! We had tonnes of the white stuff! We had a late start today! Michael and I lazily woke up at 9:44! Oh the joy! The girls had gotten up earlier and watched some treehouse! Huzzah! Lisa came over around 1:30 ish and took me shopping at oakridge mall. I got the girls some cute long john type shirts, tights, soap and some popcorn.. oh the joy! So now Michael is making dinner and I'm signing off!

as if you guys got any snow, those pictures were either photoshopped or taken last year, I demand you stand outside with a current newspaper and report back with a photo.

Cute pics otherwise, I'm sure mom will catch offense to her replacement, we all know she would swim to vancouver to take care of those girls at the drop of a pink hat.
mucho smoocho!

Yes Danica is so right. I would not necessarily swim but believe that I could walk on water to get there.....jesus.
I love the photos and they do look lovely with lil red noses.
I love you all

The Lovely snowlillies Doucette. I am so happy you found a potential babysitter. I know your Mom is numero uno, but I am also here to apply for the job if you want to save a little money and go out on a date! Just let me know, we are neighbors now!

A babysitter?? where are you going for the big date?? sounds like fun! I love the snow shots and so do my girls.. Athea keeps saying.. "let me see my friends in the snow" and gets really upset if I scroll through the photos too quickly!!
